2탑 및 3탑식 Oxygen PSA 장치 운전결과 및 경제성 비교분석
Economic and Performance Analysis for 2bed and 3bed Oxygen PSA Process
초록
산소 PSA 장치 구성을 위하여, 여러 가지 흡착제에 대한 산소 및 질소의 평형흡착량을 측정하여 유효흡착량을 비교함으로써 산소 PSA에 적절한 흡착제를 선정하였고 Langmuir isotherm parameter를 구하였다. PSA 공정의 단계는 흡착, 탈착, 축압, 세정 및 균압 등으로 구성하고 흡착압력은 2atm을 기준으로 운전하였고 탈착압력은 120∼400torr이며 cycle time은 2탑 80, 3탑 180초로 운전하였다. 2탑식과 3탑식 산소 PSA 장치의 운전특성과 경제성을 비교 분석하기 위하여, 운전조건에 따른 2탑식 및 3탑식 공정의 제품 생산성, 산소농도, 회수율을 비교하였고, 세정 및 축압단계의 영향을 분석하였으며, 대형화 하였을 경우의 투자비와 전력비를 추산하여 2탑식과 3탑식 산소 PSA의 경제성을 비교하여 700N㎥/hr 이하 규모에서는 2탑식이 유리함을 확인하였다.
For oxygen PSA process development, adsorbed amount of oxygen and nitrogen on various adsorbents were measured corresponding Langmuir isotherm parameters were measured. A reasonable adsorbent for oxygen process was selected based on the effective adsorbed amount. The PSA process consists of adsorption, desorption, pressurization, purging and pressure equilization steps. Adsorption pressure was about 2 atm and desorption pressure was between 120 torr to 400 torr. Cycle time of 2-bed PSA process was 80 seconds and that of 3-bed oxygen PSA process was 180 seconds. In order to compare and analyze operation characteristics and economic feasibilities of 2-bed and 3-bed oxygen PSA processes, productivity, oxygen concentration and recovery were compared and the effect of purge and pressurization steps on the performance of PSA processes were analyzed. For the commercial scale oxygen PSA process, capital and electricity cost were estimated. In the range of O2 production less than 700Nm(3)/hr, the 2-bed process is conformed more feasible in economic view point.
